Some chastiy Relics.

There recently passed under the exc
animation Of the Customs House Off
Gals in this city a number of cases OF
curiosities and relics sent by the Uni
ted States naval officers attached to the
South Pacific squadron to some of their
relatives and friends in Washington.
The articles had been gathered in
cruises among the islands of the South
Pacific and along the Western coast of
South America. One of the boxes was
filed with human skulls, number Of
which appeared to be very old. Three
of them were labeled: "Skulls of Kings
of the Easter Islands," The curiosities
included war clubs, arrows made of
reeds and tipped with bone, spears
with long barbs, bound with cord to
the shaft. pear shaped mace of stone
about a foot long. pieces Of South
American pottery. the jaws Of large
shark, etc.-Philadelphia Ledger.

SWEET POTATO CROP.
How to Harvest and Store This Tooth
some and Profitable Vegetable.

How to Harvest and Store This Tooth.
some and Profitable Vegetable.
The swee! potato harvest should be-
gin Immediately after the first decisive
frost. The vines are dragged off with
an ordinary turning pillow. barely let
ting it into the ground between tho
rows. After this the tubers are lifted
with Il potato digger. In the absence
of these useful implements, the work
can be done fairly well with a turning
pillow. though greater care must be used
in picking up the potatoes. rs the turn
ing pillow will cover up good many.
The usual mode of putting up sweet
potatoes in the South. is in banks or
conical heaps, containing from thirty
to hundred and fifty bushels each;
the smaller ones are picked out, and
; put in separate bank for seed. After
piling up the crop evenly, the heaps
are covered with layer of dry corn
stalks or other litter. and then with
earth, which need not be more than an
inch and half thick at harvest time,
but which should be gradually in
creased to four or six inches as winter
advances.
Potato houses are used BY some
growers in preference to banking the
tubers. When made with double walls.
with sawdust well packed between the
walls, the cold is effectually excluded.
Such potato house may be partitioned
off into bins holding from twenty 10
fifty bushels each. in which the tubers
can be stored away in dry sand.
When banking sweet potatoes. either
in potato house or under an open
shed. it is very important to leave an
opening of six or eight inches at the
top of the bank for ventilation. Soon
after being dug. potatoes seem to UNI
dergo a sweating process. which will
cause rot if the air is excluded. In
cold weather this aperture has to be
closed with an armful of straw OF hay.

BRINE-SALTING BUTTER.

Few Timely Remarks on the Advan-
tages of Applying Salt Direct.
Though l have frequently described
the process Of brine-salting butter, as
it is called, l have not been able to see
either its utility or economy. OF
course, l refer to the process of max
ing and pouring brine over the butter
in the churn or some vessel, and let
ting it stand for time. All butter
is brine-salted, if it is properly sailed.
There is only one other kind of salt
ing, and that is dry sailing, the water
being so effectually expelled from the
butter before the salt is applied that
the salt remains undissolved in the
butter to grit between the teeth when
eaten. Nobody wants butter sailed
in this way. All prefer brine-salting.
and they care not how the brine is
made, nor how it is applied, so long
as it is evenly distributed through the
butter and is not deficient or excessive
in quantity. Making brine independ-
dent of the butter, and then soaking the
cuttSi III II iisto iIp uus &c, All 11Ct,
over leaving just water enough in the
butter to dissolve the salt and then
stirring in the salt to melt on every
single atom of butter and cover it with
brine. If the salt and the water are
properly proportional, the brine will
be saturated one. There will be no
waste of salt, the butter will be evenly
sailed and all the ends for which salt is
used in butter will be subserved. In case
of making brine and pouring it on the
butter, the water already in the butter
has to be taken into consideration, and
an allowance of salt must be added
to convert the water into a saturated
brine. or the brine left in the butter
to season it will be too weak to give
sufficient flavor and to preserve the ca
sine matter remaining in the butter.
This is doubly perplexing. as you have
to bother with the brine. besides max
ing calculations for converting the
water in the butter into a saturated
brine.
BY applying the salt direct, this last
calculation is all that is needed. Be-
sides. making separate brine is not
only extra work and trouble, but oc-
casions an unnecessary waste of salt
in lot of brine which has ultimately
to be thrown away. Salt manufac-
turers and dealers will not object to
this, nor is it likely they are selfish
enough to encourage extra work and
waste for the sake of the small addi-
tional amount of trade it will bring
them. But the simplest and easiest
way OF sailing butter is the preferable
one-and that is to stop the churn
when the butter is in the granular
state. draw off the buttermilk. wash
the butter repeatedly until the water
runs clear, drain the butter until by
experience it is known that about the
right amount of water remains. care
fully stir in the salt. and as soon as it
is all dissolved press the butter into a
solid mass and pack it for keeping or
for market. If the cream is IN the
right condition and the churning and
subsequent handling are properly
done, the butter VIII be all right

Growth Of Amateur Photography

The rapid growth of amateur photogra-
ply is forcibly indicated by the number
and size of the amateur Photographic So
cieties. All the large and many of the
smaller cities have now one or more asso-
Citations Of this sort. The Society Of
Amateur Photographers, Of New York,
organized four years ago, is now u large
and prosperous organization, holding an
uual exhibitions and awarding diplomas
for the best examples Of work in different
fields. The society's influence has had
the effect Of elevating the artistic standard
not only Of amateur photography, but Of
Photographic art in general At the semi
monthly meetings the members discuss
with frankness the experiments they have
made, relate their mild vicissitudes, de-
scribe their bunders and the resultant
discoveries. No one is ashamed that ho
should have made mistakes. An amateur
who had no failures would be regarded a.
a sort Of artistic snob. As an offset to
this variety, where ii exists, there Is gen.
orally the humorous fellow whose plates
always either fog or .'friil," whose
prints freckle and who. when he insists
on ''silvering" his own paper, gets little
nitrate of silver on the end Of his nose,
where it promptly bushes brown on meet
ing the sun, and can only be removed, If
1t must Ike removed at once, with pumice
